Interesteg What makes it different from others?

Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

johnmartindj I have seen many great films that have gotten rotten reviews and this one didn't have many expectations but I thought it might be off beat and funny in some sense. I was shocked that it was worse than my lowest expectations. The main character is not cute, funny, charming, smart or funny (did I already say not funny?). He is supposed to be a stand up comedienne and yet his act sucks. He makes fun on members of the audience and the act is disturbing and uncomfortable. The love interest is laughable but only because they have no charisma together and there is no way to believe she would be involved with such a loser. None of his friends are funny, none of her friends are funny especially her brother who tried so very hard to be funny and failed. Terrible script, terrible directing, terrible film. A couple of nice moments with his daughter but that isn't the main focus of the film because the director shined the light in all the wrong places.

mike-99-181770 A Stand Up Guy started out rough around the edges, but soon evolved into an engaging story we couldn't stop watching. It had some extremely funny lines and many great well-placed non-verbal laughs, too. The supporting cast really held their own. Each character was very memorable including those portrayed by familiar faces like Ethan Suplee, Bob Saget, Andy Fiscella, etc. Some of the writing was spotty, but to be fair so are many films these days, not just lighthearted home-release comedies. The actors all nailed it. And, we loved the soundtrack, too! This is a movie for anyone who needs to escape from life for a while to enjoy a well- crafted story and get many deep laughs with their friends or dates. Not for kids hence its rating. There will be critics who will harshly beat up films like this, but they're often the same types who take life more seriously than it deserves to be. This is one of the funniest films of the year....in its own special way.

Al I enjoyed great acting... the fluctuating firm phrasing...the blending of tech and social media is inconsistent with contemporary every day use of those tools. The movie like any other movie has its ups and downs and exaggerated or out of specs scene.Good job guys.It reminds of great actors start up.It's good to see new faces showing in the jam of same old stars...and also growing stars with very convenient acting skills.I'm happy about acting and script..but not the timeline or the story or the implement of tools in contemporary environment.But it deserve 10 stars.

MongoLloyd I have to say, I never expected this to be even watchable but was pleasantly surprised by the writing and quirk quotient. The lead, unknown to me, was decent enough and the cast proved to be very entertaining. The narrative isn't anything too unique (fish out of water succeeds), but the story is engaging enough to make you care about the protagonist and stick with it. The payoff to me are mostly the scenes with Michael Rapaport and Jay R. Ferguson who bring a hilarious bizarro edge to the story. One thing this film deserved was a better ending, not to give anything away, but it is fairly anticlimactic.
